How did the world's second best military fail so badly? Prior to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Russia was known as the world's second-greatest military with a combat projection power that was only rivaled by the American military.
Many were lied to about what they would face “Russian soldiers carrying out the invasion of Ukraine were not told they were going to war and were lied to about what they would face, according to an increasing number of firsthand accounts,” wrote Insider journalist Mia Jankowicz on March 7th of 2022.
Soldiers sent to war without knowing it In the first weeks of the war, the global news media reported that many of the soldiers drafted to fight in Ukraine weren’t actually told they were going to war.
Turkey agrees to support Sweden’s Nato application Recep Tayyip Erdoğan agreed to set aside his veto following last-ditch talks on the eve of the Nato summit in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Sweden is to be allowed to join Nato after Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, agreed to set aside his veto and recommend to his parliament that Sweden’s application go ahead.
Whenever Russia is threatening to use nuclear wepon it only shows that Russia is losing the war. NATO won't believe evil Putin is going to use nuclear weapon, his brother won't allow also.
Ukraine attacks Russian navy base near Novorossiysk
Ukrainian sea drones attacked a Russian navy base near the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, a major hub for Russian exports, early on Friday and were destroyed by Russian warships, Russia's defence ministry said.
The attack prompted the Novorossiysk port to temporarily halt all ship movement, according to the Caspian Pipeline Consortium which operates an oil terminal there.
Russian social media users reported hearing explosions and gunfire near Novorossiysk on Friday morning. If confirmed it would be the first Ukrainian attack on one of Russia's main commercial ports.
Ukraine says troops landed on Crimea in ‘special operation’
Ukraine’s navy and military intelligence carried out a “special operation” overnight with units landing in Crimea, officials have said.
A short and brief video posted on Thursday, along with a statement by the Defence Ministry intelligence service (HUR), showed a small motorboat moving through the water at night near a coastline.
Ukraine says Russian naval vessels badly damaged in Crimea attack
KYIV, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Ukraine said it seriously damaged two Russian naval vessels and struck port infrastructure in the Crimean city of Sevastopol early on Wednesday, in what appeared to be the biggest attack of the war on the home of the Russian navy's Black Sea Fleet.
The strike on Crimea, seized and annexed by Russia in 2014, was confirmed by Moscow. It highlighted Kyiv's growing missile capabilities as Russia continues to bombard Ukraine from afar with long-range missiles and assault drones. Ukrainian military intelligence official Andriy Yusov told Reuters that a large landing vessel and submarine had been hit in the strike, and later described the damage as "considerable" in televised comments.
"We can say now that it is highly likely (the vessels) are beyond repair," he said.
Russia's defence ministry said that Ukraine attacked a Black Sea naval shipyard with 10 cruise missiles and three uncrewed speedboats in the early hours, damaging two military vessels that had been undergoing repairs. It said it downed seven of the incoming missiles and that the attack boats had been destroyed by a Russian patrol ship. It later said its two vessels would be fully repaired and return to service, contradicting Kyiv's account.
An image circulated online and verified by Reuters showed a docked vessel that had sustained serious damage.
Ukrainian military analyst Volodymyr Zablotsky told news outlet RBK Ukraina the damaged vessels were the "Minsk" Ropucha-class large landing ship and the "Rostov-on-Don" Kilo-class attack submarine, which can carry Kalibr cruise missiles."It carries six torpedoes or four Kalibr missiles in one salvo. So we can calculate that Russia is now down four Kalibr missiles. It would seem that they have lost one missile launcher, at least partially, for several months."
A Russian submarine and other major naval target Ukraine’s destroyed in the war
Several attacks over the last eighteen months of the conflict have taken their toll on Russia’s naval power and the latest attacks on the shipyards in Sevastopol are just another example of Ukraine's ability to knock out the Kremlin’s expensive ships.
